Budget-friendly URL shortener running in your Azure subscription
Self-hosted URL shortener for Azure with scheduled redirects, click statistics, and a Blazor admin interface. Deploy in minutes with step-by-step guidance.
AzUrlShortener is a cost-effective URL shortening solution designed to run entirely within your Azure subscription. Built with .NET and Blazor, it gives you full control over your short links without relying on third-party services or recurring SaaS fees.
The platform includes a Blazor-based admin web app (TinyBlazorAdmin) for creating and managing short URLs. Track click statistics to understand link performance, and configure time-based redirects to route users to different destinations based on schedules. For advanced workflows, the REST API supports integration with tools like Postman or direct table access via Azure Storage Explorer.
Targeted at developers, marketers, and small teams who want ownership of their URL infrastructure, AzUrlShortener offers straightforward deployment through documented step-by-step instructions. The architecture is extensible for enterprise configurations while remaining accessible to users new to Azure. With an MIT license and active community contributions, the project balances simplicity with flexibility for diverse hosting scenarios.
When teams consider Azure Url Shortener, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
